Stainless Steel Biosand Filter (JalKalp) Guide
The JalKalp Biosand Filter Guide, developed by S M Sehgal Foundation, is a comprehensive and user-friendly resource intended to assist field technicians, trainers, Community Health Promoters, and community members with the correct usage, and maintenance of the JalKalp stainless steel biosand filter. Tailored for rural and low-income settings in India, where access to safe drinking water remains a major concern, this guide serves as a critical tool for promoting household water treatment solutions.
JalKalp is an advanced adaptation of the traditional biosand filter, featuring a stainless steel body that improves portability, durability, and resistance to damage. It integrates innovative features such as zero-valent iron (ZVI) nails for the removal of arsenic and iron, and copper to enhance microbial removal through its germicidal properties.
The guide emphasizes community ownership, behavioral change, and self-reliance, encouraging the correct, consistent, and continuous use of filtered water. It is enriched with visual aids and practical steps to enhance comprehension and promote hands-on learning. Aligned with Sehgal Foundation’s broader outreach and capacity-building programs, the guide aims to strengthen water safety, public health, and sustainability efforts in rural India.
By making this guide freely accessible, Sehgal Foundation seeks to empower WASH practitioners and community members with the skills and confidence to promote, monitor, and sustain the use of effective household water treatment solutions, thereby improving drinking water quality and overall community well-being.
